I just read that Blizzard fired about 600 people from their company. Now it's normal to have say, a dozen or so people cut off but 600 people is quite a huge number.
Now link this with the fact that they've already lost almost 2 million WoW subscribers as well as the fact that they've been pushing back Diablo 3. Sad as it is to say but I don't think Blizzard is making money anymore but rather losing it. Diablo 3 keeps getting pushed back (it's already been pushed back by half a year) and Starcraft 2 already got boring for people who arent hardcore about it. No one is interested in Mists of Pandarens because it's a kung foo panda ripof for little kids so investors aren't investing in it anymore.
Blizzard better pick things up or it is going to go bankrupt. It has too many projects out but they can't perfect any of them.
What do you think?
